purchasers

land is made is registered before a subsequent purchase of the land,
the voluntary disposition is not taken to have been made with intent
to defraud a subsequent purchaser—
(a) only because the disposition was not made for valuable
consideration; or
(b) only because of the subsequent purchase.
(3) This section applies to a disposition of land made before or after the
commencement of this section.
